What is cookie compliance?

In May 2012, EU passed the law requiring websites to let users know how the stores use cookie and which user data gets stored. All the websites which are owned within or which target users within the Europian Union have to comply with the EU's cookie law.

According to the EU's GDPR law, the organizations need to have the consent of the users regarding use of cookies and even allow them to deny usage if they wish. To ease this task, Meetanshi has developed Magento 2 Cookie Notice extension that displays a clean and simple cookie notification bar in the store frontend.

Magento 2 Cookie Notice extension helps to implement cookie compliance in Magento 2 store. The notification bar has a button for the visitors to permit or deny to access their information. When a user accepts the cookie policy, they may proceed further in your store.

The Magento 2 cookie banner is customizable as per convenience. Admin can set a time duration to auto-hide the cookie notice. Increase your customers' trust by ensuring them that your Magento 2 stores abide by the GDPR cookie law and hence improve trust!
